why don't you just do an upgrade install and you shouldn't loose the drivers , otherwise you could do a clean install and download all of the drivers you need from this compaq site http://www.compaq.com/support/files/index.html

You can use a full-version Win98 CD to upgrade from Win95 by going into C:\Windows & renaming win.com to something like win.bak. Then install Win98 as normal, but if setup suggests a folder such as C:\Windows.000, redirect it to C:\Windows (assuming that this is the directory where Win95 currently resides.
